CBD v THC : what's the difference?

April 16, 2018

Many users ask if cannabidiol is legal in the UK, and a large part of why it is legal is because CBD does not contain any THC. Let us explain.

Cannabidiol CBD and THC are both chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. THC is very well known for being the chemical which allows users to get “high” from smoking or consuming cannabis, whereas CBD is growing in popularity because it doesn’t contain THC.

Who we are

CBD Oil Base is a direct to consumer e-commerce business that specialises in Cannabidiol (CBD) products. Our mission is to educate the world on the benefits of CBD and deliver best in class CBD products to our customers conveniently.

We are developing our own range of innovative cannabis oil products that use Cannabinoid (CBD) in easy to administer delivery methods which optimise the uptake of the active ingredient Cannabidiol.

CBD is not psychoactive as it contains less than 0.2% THC, therefore it is legal in Europe and in all 50 states in the USA.
